MEDLINE Refuses To Index Peer Reviewed Journal

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, February 29, 2008

JOURNAL OF ORTHOMOLECULAR MEDICINE NOW ONLINE

(OMNS February 29, 2008) The archives of the Journal of Orthomolecular

Medicine are now posted online. Past issues from 1967 through 2002 are

available for downloading, at no charge, here

" 36 years of important material is now freely available to everyone, " said

J. , Executive Director of the Toronto-based International

Schizophrenia Foundation, which publishes the Journal.

The Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine has led the way in presenting, in

advance of other medical journals, new health concerns and treatments

including niacin therapy for schizophrenia and coronary disease; vitamin C

for cancer; and the nutritional treatment of behavioral disorders, and drug

and alcohol abuse. The JOM was also the first medical journal to publish

papers on the nutritional treatment of allergies, autism, and AIDS. JOM

published pioneering research on candiasis in 1978, mercury amalgam

toxicity in 1982, and chronic fatigue syndrome in 1988. The Journal has

published over 100 papers on nutritional medicine and cancer, and over 400

articles on schizophrenia and other psychiatric illnesses. JOM is

peer-reviewed.

The Journal was founded in 1967 as the Journal of Schizophrenia, and

subsequently titled the Journal of Orthomolecular Psychiatry until 1986.

Nobel Laureate Linus ing authored 9 papers in the Journal from

1970-1992. It was ing that gave nutritional medicine the name

" orthomolecular. " Says JOM Editor-in Chief Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD: " In 1968,

Dr. ing proposed the term orthomolecular (1,2) which we recognized as

the correct word to define the total interest in nutrition, clinical

ecology, and the use of vitamin and mineral supplements. All the pioneers

in orthomolecular medicine have reported their findings in this journal. It

thus represents a unique source for these earlier and current studies which

provide a basis for the increasing growth of nutritional medicine. "

ONLINE, BUT NOT ON MEDLINE

Curiously, after over 40 years of continuous publication, JOM is still not

indexed on MEDLINE. There are about 5,000 other journals indexed by the

taxpayer-funded U.S. National Library of Medicine, and over 700 million

MEDLINE searches each year. Not one of those searches found a single paper

from the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine. (3)

In 2006, Psychology Today wrote: " The National Library of Medicine refuses

to index the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, though it is peer-reviewed

and seems to meet their criteria. " (4)

MEDLINE does, however, index material from Newsweek, Consumer Reports,

Reader’s Digest and Time magazines.

Those who may feel think this is irregular may wish to contact the National

Library of Medicine’s Deputy Director, Betsy L. Humphreys, at the National

Institutes of Health, Bldg. 38, Room 2E17A, 8600 Rockville Pike, Bethesda,

This is truly sad. As for the older rags, TIME magazine now, is NOT what it was cerca 40 years ago, when I first started reading it. I think my dad has had a close to lifetime subscription, since I was a kid. Lately, I have noticed that the articles are more superficial and rely heavily on the antics of celebrities. Decades ago, when I was cerca 10 years old, I found that the TIME articles had more depth.

I've noticed this too - that TIME now seems to put out more " human

interest " and even entertainment stories (my dad says BueinessWeek is

doing the same thing, and he's right - I've read BW for about 10

years now, and it has changed)

But TIME also seems to be maybe a bit willing to do " hip " but

controversial stories - like the coer story on statins a couple weks

ago. Yes, it was a bit fluffy, and it tells you nothing that hasn't

been known to people who follow this stuff for 2-4 years already -

but then, all mainstream media and AP seems to be about 3 years

" behind the science " . But would other publications have the *nerve*

to publish such a story, and as a cover story no less? I would hope

others would, and maybe they do (maybe I don't read enough popular mags)

When the TIME arrived in the mail today, I had hoped they would

have done a cover article on the Vaccine court ruling, and the YEARS

of anectodal and partly-researched (that is, where the research is

even done) evidence on MMR and DTP/DTaP and the dramatic increase in

the vaccine schedule, etc. But sadly, the decided to do the cover on

" Does experience really matter " - yet another story about Obama.

Maybe next week, or next year, or next decade when the story might

just be that the biomed movement has succeeded and autism is now

redily diagnosed early enough, and is completely reversible. Or

perhaps enough parents will get some sense that the current vaccine

schdule will collapse and the autism rate will fall back to the 1 in

2500 or so that is was back in the 70's..

Really, who needs *rotavius* vaccination in the US anyway? From

what I know, it kills thousands in the developing world, but is

almost never occurs in the developed world (this was before there was

a vaccine), and when it does esentialy causes massive diarrhia. A

headache to be sure, but treat symtoms and keep the kid hydrated and

well supplemented with esesential minerals, and let the immune system

kill it off.
